gav-ffc Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Struggling for central midfielders eh! Thanks to Peter Houston we have the super John Rankin in our side great signing.... No issue with Rankin, just didn't suit our team with Kerr seemingly unstoppable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brokeville Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 The Chairman and other board members are anonymous at the moment. It's time we had some communication with the fans on what's going on. Recent events would suggest all is not well and unless changes are made it doesn't bode well for the future. I hope we don't get any more money for selling players as I wouldn't trust them with the cash. It's time for the support to rise up again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadwell Dog Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 (edited) Just because Rankin meets Queens standards doesn't mean he meets ours. 6 months of wasted wages, wages that had been previously been paid to a player ten times as good the season before. When I saw the headline Madness at the Falkirk Stadium I just presumed it was just another one of Houstons team selections and on the subject of completing the ground do you think we should make enquires?

Crawford Baptie Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 We aren't going to win the league, we might make the play offs. The board by the looks of it are trying to force Houston's hand and make him quit.At this point I suspect that he will go in the Summer. There will be a few players going and any new guy coming in will have money and existing budget to play with. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crowds have been holding up remarkably well given the dross on view but you would have to imagine season ticket sales will fall off a cliff if we continue like this until the end of the season. Manager appears to have lost the dressing room and the BOD are a shower of moribund nonentities. Shambles. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COYB Could we get Houstie along and get him wrecked so he doesn't get near the team sheet? Best chance of a result later in the day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbri Bairn2 Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Do the board want rid of Houston ( remember his reason for leaving DU was lack of funds from the board ) or are they just tight fisted money men? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bairnabeau Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 There's little point in the BoD throwing money at this season though.....Personally, I'd like a bit of clarity as to what the board are up to. If, as I suspect they are, saving up for next season providing United and Hibs leave then say so; they have the Season Ticket money from this season, and with a statement as such would for next season likely garner a similar volume as this season? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get your point but if we sign good players in the summer and clearly are splashing the readies - the season tickets will sell well. We don't need a statement to sell tickets. To be fair I'd rather do our talking in the transfer market and not a Dave King type statement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That old chestnut? Not another season of waiting until the opposition is weaker FFS. Truth is they'll always be teams bigger and better or chairmen willing to put their hand in their pockets speculating to accumulate.Even if Hamilton, Ross County, ICT or Partick Thistle were to come down we'd still say let's wait till their out the league as their too big to compete again with their premier players and budgets blah blahI'm not wearing anymore of this nonsense... Let's do the decent thing for the fans, let's spend some decent money and let's have an honest attempt to win promotion instead of taking the cheap option and trying to slip through the back door. We've spouted this type of sh*t for much to long 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz FFC Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Ross C coming down would be a disaster as they have a chairman who would splash. Any 2 from Partick, Killie, Hamilton and Inverness would suit me to replace Hibs and Utd. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
